Safari displaying poster but not video...

Junior Member

Have a strange problem when embedding HTML5 video.
When i use the poster attribute, Safari (5.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.2) only loads the poster and doesn't load the movie but if i remove the poster attribute, it plays the movie fine.
Chrome however, plays it perfectly with or without the poster attribute.

I put the poster attribute in because Firefox should default to the fallback img but doesn't. It only falls back to the poster if the poster attribute is present.

Sorry not that helpful of a post.
Due to not being able to use HTML 5 as we can't really use it on a day to day basis yet, due to mainly using CMS systems, I'm curious to the answer myself, so want to get notifications, sorry if this is a bit of a naff reply.
